[FIXED] Ownership disappears from objects
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.103.315.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? EP: All excluding Hight School Years, Growing Together and For Rent GP: All excluding Journey To Batuu SP: Spooky, Backyard, Vintage Glamour, Bowling Night, Toddler, Landry Day, My First Pet, Moschino, Tiny Living, Paranormal Kit: Industrial Loft, Desert Luxe. Pastel Pop, Greenhouse Haven, Basement Treasures, Book Nook, Modern Luxe
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? ・Create a sim and move into the house of any world. ・Buy the refrigerator and put food or seeds in the refrigerator and Sim's inventory. This is easiest to see this issue. ・Then make your sim move household into other Lot. ・After move, try to put any food or seeds into the refrigerator from Sim's inventory directly (without using "put away").
What happens when the bug occurs? After move household, if a storage type object is placed in a Lot from a household's inventory, it will no longer be possible to move items from the Sim's inventory directly to that object. Like as using storage type object on unowned Lot. So parhaps ownership disappears from objects after "Move Household", I think.
What do you expect to see? Object ownership is maintained even after moving.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. From after 2023/Dec/05 update. And keep happening this issue after new update in 2023/Dec/14.
Sorry if there is already a thread with the same issue.
Objects affected by this issue that I confirmed:
refrigerators, Bookshelves, Storage Box, Rancher's Stackable Nectar Storage Rack, the Attic Stack Decoration Box, Pile of Presents, some of small type flower pots, 3 Senses Oil Lamp, easel, musical instrument that can be put in inventory
Now I could find out the following things.
・After move household, even if change to new one, objects lose ownership next move.
・The case you can not move the items from Sim's inventory directly to storage type object. If the items have "put away" command, you can store that with using the command.
・About computer:
When Sims move household, if the computer not be locked, every lock commands have lost after move.
When move household, if you had set the lock command "Everyone" to the computer, you are not able to use the computer anymore after move.
・About collectable object:
There is no problem in completing the "Household Collection".
However, commands that use in your Sim's inventory, such as breeding frogs, will no longer be available.
If you need to breed frogs, move them with all frogs in your Sim's inventory so they are not affected by this issue.
It seems like I can play it somehow, but there is no workaround for storing food in the refrigerator. Replacing a refrigerator is expensive, so it's a tough expense for Sims in the early stages of play.
Also, please check Lot Value and Lot Taxes when you move.
If you compare Unfurnished Lot Taxes with Furnished Lot Taxes, you will notice that Furnished is cheaper.
I think something about Lot is broken.
EDIT:
Workaround and caution are in the post #6.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to make more general
- Ownership no longer disappears from objects after "Move Household".
Fixed in Patch 1.109.185/1.98
